Eric killed an intruder WWTL 45
What Was That Like
Explicit content
What would you do if you were asleep with your spouse, and it was the middle of the night, and suddenly you heard loud noises like someone banging on your door?
What about when you got up and before turning on any lights, you could see the figure of a man standing there on the other side of your sliding glass doors?
And when you turn on the lights, and you see him, and he sees you, and he explodes with anger and starts trying to break through the door?
What would you do?
None of wants to be put in a situation like that. But that’s what happened to Eric one night. He was trying to figure out what to do, his wife Jennifer was on the phone trying to get the police there as quickly as possible, and this man was using all his strength to get into the house.
And then things took a big turn for the worse.
